Abstract
Experimental data on the processing behavior and on the rheological and mechanical properties of blends with a liquid crystal polymer as one component are presented. The blends with low amounts of LCP show easier processability and lower viscosity than the thermoplastic matrix. The elastic modulus is also improved. The reduction of viscosity has been attributed to the lower pressure entry, due to the formation of fibrils and to the immiscibility of the two phases.Keywords
